What is a WOŚP Finale?

It’s a one-day charity drive organised annually by the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (in Polish: Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy, hence „WOŚP). We’re putting together an all-day party with many attractions, including a kids’ corner, Polish food, live music, and much more to collect money for their cause.

This event doesn’t discriminate—you’re welcome to support it regardless of your political views, whether you believe in pineapple on pizza, and whichever way you hang the toilet paper in your home!

The goal—to support and improve the quality of medical care in Poland

The Finale is a Polish initiative, but it has spread all over The World—to all the places where Poles live. the Orchestra plays in New York, in Dublin, in Frankfurt, in London, in Moscow, in Tokio, in Barcelona, in Paris….. Over 1700 cities (and Collection Centers just like ours), including 1500 in Poland and over 200 abroad, take part!

Each Finale features a couple of the Foundation’s traditions. One of them is the heart-shaped stickers with the Foundation’s name, „Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy”, given out to everyone who donates. The other is the Light to the Sky—we turn on glowsticks and flashlights and send positive thoughts to where they’re needed the most.

Come to our Finale! Our volunteers speak English and German, there are non-Polish books at our used book fair, great food, live music, and much more. You’ll have plenty of fun!
